The idea for Metorbike was conceived by friends Michael and Marvin, back when they were studying together. Both of them love café racers, and both of them had wondered if an electric drivetrain could be as elegant as a vintage combustion engine. So they decided to build a prototype to test their ideas.
Tinkering away in one of their grandfather’s garage after hours, the duo put their mechanical engineering and mechatronics studies into practice. And when they ran into a task that was beyond their collective abilities, they simply up-skilled.…
